The Art of Acrylic Painting

This inspiring instructional book combines projects from some of the most popular How to Draw and Paint and Artist’s Library series titles into one handy volume.

The Art of Acrylic Painting is a comprehensive collection featuring the work of many accomplished artists, which means readers are exposed to a variety of styles and learn a number of ways to approach this versatile medium.

The beautiful, full-color reference book contains essential information about acrylic tools and techniques, as well as a wide variety of step-by-step painting lessons that feature a range of subjects — from stunning still lifes and charming street scenes to engaging animal portraits and everything in between.

This is truly a bang for your buck. I payed for this when it was on sale, and it was a great deal. Similar books I see at local art stores go for much more, so I definitely saved. I was extremely pleased with the product. It has full color pictures, in depth descriptions, and many small tips on the side of the page which I never would've figured out myself. It has a variety of step by step by step demonstrations, ranging from animals, to still lifes, to landscapes, to skies, and much more. The beginning of the book includes a list of useful supplies, basic techniques, a few pages about color theory, and everything else you need to get started. Whether you're a beginner or a pro, this is an excellent book to delve into your creative mind and pull out great ideas and skill. I would highly recommend this product. It is a great value for what you pay. I'm so pleased that I'm going to invest in other books from the same series!!
